Excused Absences:

Absences for causes over which the student and parent/guardian had no control, and absences for causes which are acceptable to the principal.  An excused absence, as defined by Clark County School District regulation 5113, shall include those of the following nature: caused by illness, court appearances, religious holidays, an emergency outside the control of the student or student's family, or a prearranged absence (which will be limited to five school days per semester).  Such excuses are subject to the approval of the principal.

If your son or daughter is absent, parents should send them to school with an excuse note within three days of the absence.  Please include the student's first and last name, student id number, dates of absence, reason for absence, and a parent name and contact number on the note.
